Description
Spanning more than 150 years, this sweeping historical novel follows two intertwined families whose stories begin with Harrison and Tirzah, a formerly enslaved couple separated in the aftermath of the Civil War. As their descendants move through Reconstruction, the Great Migration, and modern-day Harlem, buried secrets, inherited grief, and the consequences of difficult choices echo across generations. When Ardelia and Oliver’s engagement brings their family histories into collision, their love raises profound questions about fate, memory, and whether the present can heal the wounds of the past. Meticulously researched and emotionally resonant, the novel explores the enduring legacies of slavery, the search for belonging, and the transformative power of romantic love.
